George's appearance led to an instant debate in Around The League circles: Is he there in a coaching or playing capacity? Both scenarios seemed entirely implausible. George's last NFL season was 2001, but his name still pops up once per year as he campaigns for another shot with a quarterback-needy team.

This is preposterous. George was the poster child for "coach killers" among professional athletes in the 1990s. We weren't in the locker rooms at the time, but George earned a reputation as a me-first narcissist worried more about his own statistics than helping his team win games.

Even if we look past George's cancerous impact during his playing days, it's still bizarre that a former quarterback primarily known for coasting on the strength of his once-in-a-generation arm is mentoring the considerably less-gifted Ponder on the finer points of the game.
